Instructions

1. - Roll puff pastry sheets out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Use a pizza cutter to slice each rectangle into 9 (3-inch) squares.
2. - In a small bowl, whisk egg and water together to create an egg wash.
3. - Brush the edges of half the puff pastry squares with egg wash. Place a piece of guava paste in the center of each of these squares. Top with the remaining pastry squares and pinch the edges to seal. Brush the tops of the pastries with more egg wash, being careful not to overdo it so it doesn't drip off the edges.
4. - Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Spray the inside of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
5. - Place pastries in the air fryer basket in a single layer without touching (you may need to work in batches). Air fry at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown, checking starting at 5 minutes to make sure they aren't overly browning.
6. - Remove from the air fryer basket and cool on a wire cooling grid.
7. - Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
